Preface
3. Preface
Piezoresistive low pressure sensors are very reliable
solutions for gas exchange analysis. They are used for
precise absolute pressure measurements in low pressure
indication. The piezoresistive sensors can be applied direct
in the intake of the engine or in the exhaust using a water-
cooled adapter.
Piezoresistive high pressure sensors are essential where static

and dynamic pressure measurements are required. They are
ideal for accurate frequency analysis of pressure profiles
in injection systems or general pressure measurements in
hydraulic systems.

3.1 Technical data and documentation

Data sheets are available on www.kistler.com
002-858e-04.22 Page 5
3.2 Principle of operation

The sensor measuring element is a Wheatstone bridge semi-
conductor. The applied pressure is changing the resistance
of the Wheatstone bridge and its voltage output, which is
proportional to the pressure.
In sensors of Type 4007 with Direct Chip Exposure (DCE)
the pressure acts on the measuring element directly. The
element is covered with a protective coating to protect it
from the measurement media and increase durability.
The sensor Types 4011, 4017 and 4049... use media sepa-
rated technology. The pressure acts via an oil-filling onto
the measuring element – this is separated from the media
by a steel diaphragm.
The sensor Types 4065 and 4067 are based on block sensor
technology. The pressure acts on a steel diaphragm, which
then applies a force onto a silicon block measuring element.
Fig. 2: Cross section of piezoresistive sensors (left: DCE;

middle: oil-filled; right: block technology)
3.3 Media compatibility

The DCE piezoresistive sensors have limited media
compatibility. The sensor Type 4007 has been successfully
tested with following medias: gasoline, diesel, E15 (race
fuel), engine oil (0W-40), brake fluid (DOT 4), PVE oil (air
condition), air, water and diesel exhaust fluid (AUS 32/
AdBlue).
Media-separated sensors can be used with fluids and gases

compatible with stainless steel.
For measuring pressure in combustion engine exhaust paths

it is recommended to use media separated sensors.
Page 6 002-858e-04.22
Preface
3.4 Requirements to cooling

The use of Kistler cooling system Type 2621G for cooled sen-
sors is recommended. It is capable of providing cooling for
several piezoresistive sensors as 4049 (depending on the heat
load created by the application) with an optimum quantity of
coolant, at the right pressure and constant temperature. This
facilitates measurements with absolute reproducibility and
best lifetime of the piezoresistive sensors.
Coolant temperature:
50 ±3°C
Coolant flow rate:

0.3 to 0.5 l/min
Coolant pressure:
1.5 ±0.2 bar
Coolant composition:
demineralized water according to VDE-Norm 0510;
cooling fluid additive BASF G30/G40/G48 or similar
product (do not mix with each other)
mixing ratio: 1 part additive with 4 parts demineralized
water suitable for applications down to –9°C
For more information refer to instruction manual of cooling

unit Type 2621G.
Never connect the piezoresistive sensor to an open cooling

system with water from the main supply. This water source
contains calcium and lime deposits, which will accumulate
inside the sensor, impacting the cooling and in the worst
case, blocking the cooling channels inside the sensor.
3.5 Precautions for water cooling

The cooling system flow must be active before the engine is
started. The reason for this is that exhaust gases will heat up
the sensor very rapidly above its maximum temperature limit.
Further, the sensor may be damaged when low temperature
coolant enters the hot sensor (thermal shock effect).
Keep the cooling system on until the temperature of the

installation position of the sensor in the engine cooled
down to less than 100°C.
002-858e-04.22 Page 7
If the cooling system fails and cannot work normally, the

combustion engine and the cooling system should be shut
down immediately to prevent the cooling system from
working intermittently, thus damaging the sensor. To
continue using the cooling system, stop the engine until
the temperature of the sensor drops to approximately the
same temperature as the coolant.
During the operation of the cooling system, it must be

ensured that the hoses and tubes are not constricted –
free flow of the coolant is essential. It is recommended to
use original accessories cooling hoses from Kistler (refer
to the data sheet of the sensor).
Before storing the sensor, empty the coolant from the

sensor, flush it with demineralized water and blow it out
very carefully with compressed air.

Installation of the piezoresistive sensor
5. Installation of the piezoresistive sensor
5.1 General information

The accuracy of a measurement and quality of the data are
highly dependent on careful installation of the piezoresistive
pressure sensor.
The sensor bore must be machined to the specified tolerances.
The specified tightening torque of the piezoresistive sensor

must be observed.
Refer to the values and instructions in the data sheet of the

sensor.
5.2 Direct installation

Direct installation requires the least installation space. A di-
rect installation is only possible if it is not necessary to cross
any water or oil galleries in the cylinder head casting.
In case of repeated mounting and dismounting of a sensor,

there is the risk of damaging the sealing mechanism and
thread of the mounting bore. Typically, the cylinder head
material is softer than that of the sensor. Before mounting
the sensor in the bore, also to facilitate dismounting it at
the end of the test, it is recommended to coat thread of
the sensor with high temperature resistant grease (e.g.
MOLYKOTE HSC plus or Metaflus 70–81). Do not apply
any grease on the diaphragm.
5.3 Installation with sleeve

In the case where the point to be measured can only be
accessed via an oil or cooling water gallery, a mounting
sleeve is necessary to provide adequate sealing for the
installation. At the front, the sleeve is screwed and sealed
with a sealing ring. At the rear, sealing is achieved using
O-rings and/or Loctite compound (Loctite 648 for shaft-
hub, Loctite 290 for thread).
002-858e-04.22 Page 11
Benefits of using a mounting sleeve:

Precise sensor bore inside the sleeve
Machining of the bore for the mounting sleeve is simplified
The mounting sleeve has the required strength to ensure
that the sealing part can resist wear. This allows the sen-
sor to be mounted and dismounted repeatedly without
restrictions
When removing the sensor, the mounting sleeve prevents
cooling fluid from leaking into combustion chamber
Disadvantages of using a mounting sleeve:

Can influence on the cylinder head cooling performance
(depending on size and position of the sleeve with respect
to the water cooling channels)
5.4 Installation examples

gallery, sensor Type 4011A…DS...8; middle:
direct mounting with small cavity in front of the
diaphragm, sensor Type 4067E; right: mounting
on a pipe with a welded boss, sensor Type 4049B
5.5 Machining the mounting bore

When preparing the sensor bore, ensure that the thread is
concentric in relation to the relative bore diameters. The
sealing part must be completely flat. Refer to the specifica-
tions and tolerances stated on the datasheet of the sensor.
Page 12 002-858e-04.22
All machining steps with the drill, milling cutter, reamer and
screw tap must be performed with the work held securely in
the same position.
High pressure piezoresistive sensors are particularly sensitive

to machining bore tolerances. It is essential to use the correct
machining tools and methods for creating the sensor bore
and installation. This will provide a good quality installation
with correct, concentric positioning of the sensor and a high
quality sealing surface for optimized sensor operation.

The sealing face and mounting bore should be considered

a service item during the lifetime of the sensor installation.
The sealing face in particular requires maintenance and in-
spection of the seal and determination of any leakage, or
imperfections in the installation itself.
Fig. 8: A handheld optical borescope suitable for inspecting
5.6 Mounting the water hose on the cooling pipe

Soak the end of the FPM (Fluorocarbon Rubber) hose in
boiling water for several seconds – this allows expansion via
heating to assist fitting, then fit the FPM hose on the cool-
ing pipe of the sensor. With this procedure it is not neces-
sary to rotate the FPM water hose back and forth whilst
fitting as this creates a risk of loosening the cooling pipe. If
a cooling pipe becomes loose, it must be unscrewed com-
pletely – then follow the mounting procedure as mentioned
in the chapter „maintenance“.
5.7 Protector heat screen for water cooled sensor

When using the sensor in exhaust gas application soot par-
ticles may build up on the protector screen of the sensor. For
the best sensor performance it may be necessary to clean or
replace the protector screen. For the detailed step-by-step de-
scription please refer to the manual “Replacement of Screen”.

Page 14 002-858e-04.22
5.8 Check points before installation

Water leakage – After connecting the FPM hoses to the
cooling pipes of sensor or cooling adapter, operate the
cooling system and check that there is no leakage.
Piezoresistive cable – Carefully check the piezoresistive
cable for damages over its full length and if necessary
replace it completely.
Sensor seal ring – The sensors seal ring must always be
applied to the sensor as shown in Figure 9. If the sealing
ring is damaged, it should be replaced.
Fig. 10: Left: seal ring Type 1145 of a shoulder sealing

sensor Type 4007, right: seal ring Type 1100 of a
front sealing sensor Type 4067
Mounting bore – Check the condition of the mounting

bore, it must be machined to the specified dimensions
and tolerances as described in the datasheet, and also
clean and dry prior to installation.
5.9 Installing the sensor into the bore

Feed the piezoresistive cable through the mounting key and
then fit the mounting key on the hex of the sensor. If us-
ing the slotted mounting wrench, pay attention to proper
positioning of the piezoresistive cable in the slot (danger of
squashing the cable, Fig. 11). For the applications with high
temperature (e.g. engine exhaust) the thread of the sensor
should be lubricated with high-temperature resistant grease
(e.g. MOLYKOTE HSC plus or Metaflux 70–81) before in-
stalling the sensor in the bore. This will facilitate dismount-
ing the sensor from the bore post-testing.
002-858e-04.22 Page 15
During installation and disassembly, the piezoresistive cable

should be rotated with the mounting wrench to avoid dam-
age of the cable. During use pay attention to protect the
sensor cable. Do not squash, twist or pull the cable.
Screw the sensor hand-tight and then use the torque

wrench for tightening to the required value as specified in
the datasheet of the sensor.
For cooled sensors: when the sensor installation is completed,

connect the hoses to feed and return manifolds of the cooling
system.

Piezoresistive sensor cable routing
6. Piezoresistive sensor cable routing

The piezoresistive cable of the sensor must be routed to
avoid other high frequency or power cables as much as
possible (e.g. ignition or fuel injection system cabling, dyna-
mometer or motor power cables). If this cannot be avoided,
the piezoresistive cables should be kept perpendicular to the
high-frequency signal lines to reduce signal interference.
There must be no mechanical tension on the cable. It is

absolutely essential to avoid deformation caused by sharp
bends. During use pay attention to protect the cable: do
not squash, twist or pull it. Ensure the cleanliness of the ca-
ble connector. Do not allow water, oil, dust, or other dirt in
the vicinity of the cable interfaces. If the piezoresistive con-
nector becomes contaminated during use, use an electronic
cleaning spray to clean it.
002-858e-04.22 Page 17
7. Setting up the measuring chain

The procedure for the measuring chain setup is based on
the type of the sensor.
Analog compensated sensors

When connecting an analog compensated sensor (e.g.
4007B, 4049A, 4043/45A, 4073/75A, 4065A, 4067C)
the amplifier has to be manually parameterized with the
data from calibration sheet such as sensor type, serial
number, sensitivity and pressure range.
Analog sensors with type extension _V200S

These sensors include an integrated TEDS (Transducer
Electronic Data Sheet) with functionality as sensor iden-
tification. Depending on the amplifier type manual pa-
rametrization is required. For more information please
refer to related documentation.
Digital compensated sensors with type extension S or DS

The digital compensated sensors contain sensor param-
eters and pressure-temperature compensation stored in
TEDS. When connected to a compatible amplifier (Types
4624/4665/4667) no parametrization is needed.
The sensor can be connected directly to the amplifier or

using an extension cable (Fig. 12). Refer to datasheet of
the sensor for a compatible extension cable type.
The length of piezoresistive cables between sensor and

charge amplifier should not exceed 10 m. Interference from
extraneous voltages and ground loop issues at the test cell
can be avoided, or reduced, by using a short piezoresis-
tive cable and positioning the charge amplifier close to the
piezoresistive sensor.

sor and extension cable on the left; one channel
amplifier and SCP on the right
Page 18 002-858e-04.22
Zero-point correction
8. Zero-point correction
For highest possible accuracy an initial zero-point correction
is recommended to reduce errors such as a mounting influ-
ence and sensor drift. By performing a zero-point correction
with warm sensors the thermal offset part of the deviation
can usually be reduced significantly.
Procedure of zero-point correction for sensors installed

without cooled switching adapters (i.e. Type 7533):
Connect the mounted sensor to amplifier and cooling
system (if applicable).
Run engine to bring the sensors to a suitable operating
temperature. If available, wait until the temperature output
of the sensor has stabilized.
Turn off engine. Immediately afterwards adjust the sensor
output to barometric pressure using the amplifier function
or the data acquisition system.
Perform the measurement campaign as required.
Repeat the zero-point correction procedure before each mea-

surement campaign for best results (e.g. at least once a day).

Procedure of zero-point correction for sensors installed with

cooled switching adapters during a steady state measuring
campaign (Fig. 14):
Connect sensor to amplifier and start the cooling system.
(Control pressure off)
Start the measurement campaign.
At each operating point the zero-point adjustment is to
be performed:
– Wait for operating point to stabilize. Keep the cooled
switching adapter switched off in order to protect the
sensor.
– Once the operating point is stabilized, switch adapter
on by applying control pressure of 4…6 bar.
– Expose the sensor to engine gases for about 60s in
order to warm the sensor up.
– Switch adapter to ambient pressure by turning con-
trol pressure off.
– Adjust the sensor output to barometric pressure.
Switch adapter on by applying control pressure of
4…6 bar for 50 cycles.
– Perform measurement of the operating point (e.g. for
200 cycles).
– Switch adapter back to ambient to protect the sensor.

Dismounting and maintenance
9. Dismounting and maintenance
9.1 Dismounting
Allow the installation position to cool down before remov-
ing the sensor from the mounting bore. Dismount in the
reverse order to an installation:
Switch off the water cooling system
Disconnect the water hoses of the sensor from feed
and return manifold
Disconnect the sensor cable from the amplifier / from
the extension cable
Feed the sensor cable and both FPM hoses through the
mounting wrench, carefully slide it to the sensor, and
then fit the mounting key on the hex of the sensor. If
you are using the slotted mounting key Type 1300B12
for sensor Type 4007 and 4017, pay attention to proper-
ly posititioning piezoresistive cable in the slot (otherwise
danger of squashing the cable).
Unscrew the sensor from the bore.
9.2 Maintenance
Piezoresistive pressure sensors are precision instruments; they
will deliver measurements in the specified accuracy range only
if they are handled with care. Special attention is required for
the front part of the sensor – the diaphragm and sealing area
must always be protected against mechanical damage.
Visual inspection – Sensor, cable and cooling pipes should

be carefully inspected for anomalies (damage, soot
deposits, overheating due to combustion gas leakage).
Cleaning – After the sensor is disassembled from the

engine, combustion deposits may be cleaned with a
soft brush and isopropanol. The front part of the sensor
(diaphragm) cannot be cleaned using mechanical means
such as brushing, sand blasting, grinding, etc. as this will
irreparably damage the diaphragm and thus the sensor.
Do not tap the front surface of the sensor with metal or
other objects to avoid damage to the diaphragm.
Visual inspection – After cleaning, see above

Pressure calibration – Recalibration is recommended

once a year after the first use.
Exchange of components – it is possible to replace the
sealing ring and the cooling pipes. Material numbers are
listed in the datasheet of the sensor. The replacement of
the sealing should be done by Kistler.
Removing the cooling pipes Types 1221, 1225A3
